The preview (even if it does still have the InDesign filename listed) seems to show just enough to get me interested and to show off the quality, but then leaves me wanting more. Also, it doesn't hurt that I am a sucker for faeries and steampunk... <abbr><em>Prince of Cats´s last post: <a href="http://www.dragonstalon.co.uk/?p=23" rel="nofollow">Embarassed by D&D?</a></em></abbr> Now that is an interesting read.

I really enjoyed tackling all the fun design challenges of Scarrport, but the hardest was the firearms. The goal was to make them good but not so good that they become the default weapon for any ranged combat. Balancing high concept items is tough, but I think we settled on something that was both limited and added flavor with the Shot weapon ability. There is something great about firing off 6 shots and running out of bullets. You get that duck-under-cover-and-reload moment, something that never happens in D&D. Thanks for reading Scarrport, I think you'll definitely find something in the book to add a little variety to your game. Greg Tito Thanks for the great review Dave!

I always love having more steampunk options in D&D, even if I never use them I like to have them nearby just incase.
